Arshita
Sitting on my office chair, I leaned towards my phone a bit and then something pulled me back so I found myself sitting straight with my hands perfectly pinned on the arms of the chair.
Should I call?
They will tease definitely.
I sat back on my chair and opened my file as a diversion from minding that bile in my stomach. Bile to spill everything to my dear friends but instead of getting it out, I was ignoring to face them.
Piya called me like hundreds of time and I just ignored her by saying I had a lot of work picked upon me by Him. To mention it was that date thing.
I had no idea, first if I was going or not, second if I was going what I would I wear. My head churned and I lost my head to lean on the table, pick the phone and redial.
Here I go.
"What the hell do you think you are chucking pretty b***h?! " She yelled at me bitterly while I kept tilting my head away from it.
" My head shifted to my knees for a while. I am sorry! " I said guiltily.
" No you put your f**k in head inside you small a*s b***h! " She yelled aloud and I wondered who would be listening to her right now.
It was always me who eyed her to keep her mouth on control but when I did things than no one earth could shut her mouth until you gag her. Well I never tried this because I feared it to go much worse when she would speak.
"I am sorry Piya! I was really very... Helluv! " I said awkwardly and she went dumb. I sensed it because she had a lit to say of she wasn't near the people who influence her to make her nervous and know it, number is very low.
" What is with you? Tell me! Tell me soon! " She said rolling each words upon others. We knew each other very well and that's why I didn't want to talk to her.
" He... He.. Asked me For... " I trialed biting my lips.
She will pass me for real now.
" For? " She pushed and I took a breath then said.
" For a dinner date! " I said fast hoping she understood me.
" And you said yes, right? " She screamed from the other side.
" Not exactly. I can skip it if I want to you know. " I said slowly.
" You are going dear! Come out of your huge cab. We need to do a lot. " She said teasingly from the other side.
" You think I should go? " I asked her quite muddled.
" You are coming out of there this instant! " She ordered.
" We are working. " I reminded her with the intention to avoid it but I was fussing with the wild Ox.
" You give a s**t when the boss wants to date you? Even I am not worrying because I am helping his date today. " She sung something next merrily. But I Knew I was getting in deeper in this date thing.
Just one day ago I called him p*****t and now I was going on a date with that p*****t.
I nervously strutted away frontispiece office. He didn't call me from the start of the day and I too refrained from facing him too and so I was not doing my PA job properly. I prayed he don't call me to choose this as an excuse to talk to me.
Slowly I tip toed from his office and used his private elevator. Will he mind anymore?
No.
Within another minute I stood before my girl who went on to wiggle her eyebrow and flash her teeth. Why was she looking at me like that?
"Thus isn't first time that you know I am going on a date! " I tried to be casual but could I have got it that way?
No.
" It's first time you will be dating your boss. " She pointed as she picked her bag and pulled me out of her square.
" Where are we going then? " I asked her.
" Shopping! " She chirped and I smiled a bit remembering the the box I was gifted by him.
" Piya! " I called her.
" Yes if it's something else than no shopping cry. Hey are you blushing?" She began staring me and the heat grew in my ear too.
"He gifted me a dress and a pendant already. " I said shyly.
Why was I blushing like this?
" Okay! " She said teasingly and then added," But you would want to match the heels and other accessories you know. Makeup too. " She suggested mostly to herself.
I nodded and then off we went to do the shopping for me. Piya was so busy selecting things for me but my mind was somewhere else. I remembered the last time when we were shopping for my date with Ronit and how active I was. I really wanted to look hot damsel but now it was so awkward.
Dating my boss whom I knew for not more than two weeks!
I bit the inside the my cheek in eerie feeling that got into me suddenly. Piya hit my arm and asked me to look at the bracelet. Though I was watching to see nothing.
"Yeah it look amazing on you. " She said and began talking to the lady on the either side.
We roamed all over the shops as Piya kept on adding the stuff, really expensive stuff, I needed to lure him in her words.
Lure?
" Piya, what if he finds some other woman attractive and then leave me? you know he don't know me well but Ronit knew me well still.. " I asked her
While she drove me home.
"I agree but what if he stays with you forever!" She said shaking her head to let me see this.
"But.. " I snapped to be cut of by her.
" If you doubt then go and ask him tonight what sees in you to ask you on a date. Don't assume using over thinking your head. " She literally scolded me this time exhaling exasperated breath.
" You were never this Arshi. You were fun loving, sarcastic and happy but now you have to just think negative. " She added after a minute of silence.
" I am sorry! " I mumbled getting back to my seat as I was dropping upon her.
" Don't be sorry either for me or yourself. Just let the things go that hurts you because out there are are people who want you. " She added getting into the total philosophical mood.
" Piya! " I made her realise and she poked her tongue out.
" Yeah! You can teach me anytime but I can't teach you? " She pouted.
" No cam anytime dear! " I hugged her from side and she stifled a quite laugh.
" I am driving girl. " She said little later.
After a few minutes, we were going up to my apartment. Piya was in full mood of making me look like a real sexy woman to which I didn't keep any view at all.
" At what time he is coming to pick you? " Piya asked while I was away switching on the lights of the apartment.
" He didn't say anything about that. He just said he would Ike to dine with me. " I said reminding myself the way he asked me to get him coffee.
" You know he knew floor I lived. " I told Piya with the mark of awe.
" Of course he would know when he is into you. " She said I'm the obvious tone.
" Okay lady! It's five already. So go take a proper look bath and then I will make you up. " She said clapping her hands.
I sat on the sofa saying," Let me take some air in my deaerated lungs! "
She glared me so I headed to collect my towel and shower properly.
" Remember you ought to smell good!" She said aloud.
I rolled my eyes at her over persistent detail of my fears. I wasn't going to suffer into another man's hand. He was so charming to get any girl but he chose me.
Taking of my clothes I slipped under the shower to warm myself wondering if he called me for some work. I didn't even check on my phone. Whatever it was I had some responsibility towards my work too. I hoped he didn't point out this attitude of mine which wasn't even my idea.
Smell good.
I looked at my normal bathing soap thinking of it really smelled good. Waving that thought away, I scrubbed myself. Putting a shampoo, I rinsed my hairs with a lukewarm water.
When I was done washing, I wrapped myself in a towel and opened my cupboard to take of my knee length pants and baggy T shirt.
While I was blow drying my hairs, Piya showed up. As she saw me she took the blow drier and started doing it herself.
"You know you are freaking me. I don't want to take this so seriously. " I said to her sitting before the mirror.
" Let me concentrate! " She said as if she was some make up geek.
" Okay. " I said quietly letting her do whatever she wanted. After drying my hairs she asked me to put some lotions and cream and I followed her.
" Now go and change into those clothes he gifted. " I stood up and turned towards my cupboard only to be stopped by her.
" They are in your bed if you look closer. " She said pointing me to the neatly fold.
Why are you acting so irritated?
I looked back pouting but she was so busy into matching the shades of the eye liner I think.
I changed into the dress he gifted me and stood on front of her. It was typically long red gown and I felt quite exposed in it.
How could you gift me this revealing dress?!
"What a fantastic choice for you?! You are looking gorgeous Arshita. " She exclaimed patting my arse roughly.
" Isn't my legs showing a lot? " I raised my leg up to tell her and she laughed at me.
" That's for turn on! " She remarked giggling and enjoying herself.
" Yeah! Motivate me like this. " I pointed out and sat on the stool for her to paint me.
" That's me. " She chuckled and behan her work with make up. After testing the shades on the back of her hand she applied it on my eyes.
It was getting really hard to tilt my head up for long as she was designing my lips into deep red.
Little later got my hairs curled in a stylish way that I really found myself boutique and that freaked me out. It meant I put my effort for him, for this date.
Was I to do this?
"Piya I am looking pretty but - " She cuts me off again.
" f**k pretty! You are looking hot and sexy b***h. He will go head over heels for you. Trust me! " She said excitedly dancing a bit.
That's what I wouldnt want at all.
She was so busy enjoying herself when her cellphone rang. She reached for it and squealed in excitement.
" Abeer! "
Abeer? Did she get him that day?
How can I be so absorbed to forget about her?
" Piya! " I squeaked when she returned.
" Yes? " She looked at me confused.
" What happened between you and Abeer? " I ran to her only to topple as I stepped on my clothes," ouch! "
" Are you okay? s**t! You spoiled your lipstick. " she gave me harsh glares.
" That's okay. You and Abeer? " I oriented my dress again and sat on the stool she went on pointing me looking down.
There was something in her cheeks. She was blushing.
"Piya?" I jumped upon her while she shut her lips and eyes at the same time.
"Common tell me!" I pushed and she opened her eyes after a minute.
"He too asked me fir a coffee! " She exclaimed looking red in shyness.
" That's amazing! But you hid it from me. " I accused her hitting the shivering arm of hers. That lovely chill on remembering the name of the man we love!
That's pretty too much.
" How could I tell you when you are absorbed in your world? " She said and my face fell for a while.
How can I forget?
" Now just don't make that face! I was kidding. Actually I am happy you were thinking about him. " She sang as she took the lipstick and again started to paint my lips.
" Stop! " I said with my parted lips.
" I ain't thinking of him. " I said wondering why my ears went hot and my lips quivered. How was it possible to have that chilling feeling about which I said before happening to me but just saying 'him?'
What?
My phone started to ring and when Piya showed me the screen the sensation took to another level as I watched "Bossy!" calling on it.
"But he is remembering you! "Piya chuckled and I looked down.
" You are almost done baby girl! Let me look at you. " She looked at me from top to toe. I too looked myself in the mirror appreciating myself in that dress. She laughed a bit and then walked past me.

" All the best! " She sang and I began taking deep calming breaths. Any moment the bell was going to ring and when was going to show up.
Dumb I stood there when finally the bell rang and I squeaked a bit.
